Question

WF5 - Detailing Drawings - Show/Erase

Hi All

I've noticed that between WF4 and WF5 detailing your drawings has changed quite profoundly. Most of this is easy enough to figure out however the engineers here are complaining that the 'Show /Erase' functionality for driving dimensions and other annotations (e.g. axes, etc) does not behave as it did.

For instance, imagine you create a new drawing, show a new view and then and show its dimensions, but then erase one by mistake. For some reason we can't figure out how to show this erased dimension again!

This was never a problem in WF4. The same also applies to axes for features and other annotations.

It isn't good practise just to create these dimensions/features but I worry that the engineers here will begin doing this unless we fix the problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Phil

Only deleted or never shown items will show in the Show (no longer Show/ Erase) dialog box. You now need to look under the appropriate view in the drawing tree,select the annotations node, and select the items and unhide them using the right mouse menu.

Hi Kevin

Thanks for your reply. I think I preferred the old system if I am honest, but will persevere!

It is a shame there doesn't seem to be a config option to adjust this.

Cheers

Phil
